Another gorgeous spot at the Vatican Museums - Bramante Staircases.
•
These are two helix staircases. It was designed to allow people and pack animals to ascend and descend without interruption. •
Did you know that this is actually a modern staircase designed in 1932? The original one from 1505 isn’t open to public apart from special tours.

Flowers by Andy Warhol (acrylic on canvas 1964). Come and see cool #popart art at @il_vittoriano in #rome .
Rather than a direct encounter with nature itself, Warhol used a photograph of hibiscus blossoms in Flowers that he found in the 1964 issue of Modern Photography to create these prints. When Patricia Caulfield, the photographer of this image, found out, she brought suit against Warhol in 1966 for unauthorized use of her image. There is something ironic, almost comical about the fact that Warhol went into a lawsuit for using a simple image of flowers after years of replicating copyrighted product labels– as if in Warhol’s hands, even an unassuming subject could become embroiled in confrontation, politics, and the law.#andywarhol#kidsandart#romewithkids#kidsinmuseums#flowers#arthistoryforkids#artforkids

So I can never eat Italian food ever again. Last night we reached the zenith: the most perfect of meals in a Roman institution @roscioliroma & nothing will ever compare. Their Carbonara & Caccio e Pepe dishes are a work of art. And as for that tiramisu: absolute perfection. They take such pride in everything they serve, even their coffee. Gorgeous staff and the place was absolutely buzzing. We savoured every bite and every moment. Definitely top of the date nights. Not sure we can top it. Ever.
